Meow Wolf Felix the DJ plush

I worked on the plush version of the big fuzzy creature known as Felix who is located at the Radio Tave location of Meow Wolf in Houston, TX.

Here's the Meow Wolf description of this creature:

"Felix is a creature with mysterious origins who wandered into the ETNL community radio station from the Glen and asked if he could do a show. Is he a creature of the Glen? Is he an abandoned imaginary friend? Maybe a misplaced mascot?

What we know is that his show, Twilight Felix Is an Evening Radio Show (a clunky translation from the language Felix speaks), is one of the most popular on ETNL. Felix is a big, sometimes controversial, personality, but he gets along with everyone at ETNL just fine, even if only Isidora can understand what he's saying. Because he does his show at night when others are sleeping, Felix spends his days snoozing on a couch in the Green Room. No one seems to mind; he's out of the way and his snoring isn't too loud." 

Felix's creators were actively building the life size version when they gave me various reference images to start on the plush version. I started with my own sketch and some fabric options based on samples they gave me.

At the exhibit Felix is sleeping, so I shared some different eye option of what Felix's eyes could look like and be made of for the plush version.

Felix has long arms with weighted beans in the paws so you have move them around a bit and he has beans in his bottom so he sits well too.

 

Felix has double ears on each side of his head along with horns, so it took some manipulating to get them in the right place. 

The final version of Felix is about 9 tall and 8 inches wide.
